- “Your Auntie Grizelda” (More of the Monkees, 1967) Tork’s first Monkees lead vocal is the spiritual father of the Kinks’ “Wicked Annabella,” another rude, fuzzed-out rocker about avoiding a disagreeable woman.
- “Shades of Gray” (from Headquarters, 1967) This Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil-written tune was the first Monkees track where they played their own instruments — and Tork took its co-lead vocal.
- “Come On In” (from Missing Links Volume Two, 1968/1990) An unfairly shelved outtake from 1968’s The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees that wouldn’t be released until 1990, the Jo Mapes-written “Come On In” captures a particularly aching, fragile vocal from Tork.
- “Tear the Top Right Off My Head” (from Missing Links Volume Three, 1968/1996) This jocund Tork original also hit the cutting-room floor until the 1990s — shame, since it’s one of his sunniest duets with Dolenz.
